ATTENZIONE

LE SUPERFICI POSSONO DIVENTARE MOLTO CALDE!

UTILIZZARE SEMPRE I GUANTI DI PROTEZIONE!

Durante la combustione viene sprigionata energia termica che comporta un marcato riscaldamento delle superci, di porte, maniglie,

comandi, vetri, tubo fumi ed eventualmente della parte anteriore dell’apparecchio. Evitate il contatto con tali elementi senza un

corrispondente abbigliamento protettivo (guanti di protezione in dotazione).

Fate in modo che i bambini siano consapevoli di questi pericoli e teneteli lontani dal focolare durante il suo funzionamento.

Your regular local chimney sweep must be informed about the installation of the appliance so that he can check the correct connection

to the chimney.

FIREFIGHTING SAFETY MEASURES

When installing the appliance, the following safety measures must be observed:

a) In order to ensure sucient thermal insulation, respect the minimum safety distance from objects or furnishing components

ammable and sensitive to heat and from materials with ammable structure (see DECLARATION OF PERFORMANCE - Picture 7 - A..).

All the minimum safety distances are shown on the product data plate and lower values must not be used.

b) in front of the furnace door, in the radiation area, there must be no ammable or heat-sensitive objects or material at a distance of less

than ... Picture 7 - A.. . This distance can be reduced to 40 cm where a rear-ventilated, heat-resistant protection device is installed in

front of the whole component to protect;

c) If the product is installed on a no totally refractory oor, one must foresee a reproof background. The oors made of inammable

material, such as moquette, parquet or cork etc., must be covered by a layer of no-inammable material (size according to regional

law, see Picture 1).

The ash drawer must always be inserted when the appliance is in operation.

The solid combustion residues (ashes) must be collected in a metal container that is hermetically sealed and re resistant. The appliance must

never be lit in the presence of gaseous emissions or vapours (for example: glue for linoleum, petrol, etc,). Do not place ammable materials in

the vicinity of the appliance.

During the combustion, thermal air is emitted by involving the heating of areas, door and glass hearth, of the door handles or

controls, of the smokes pipe and, in case, of the front part of appliance. Avoid to touch those parts without a protective clothing

or without accessory tools (gloves resistant to heat, control devices). Ensure children are aware of these dangers and keep

them away from the furnace when it is on.Warn children that the device becomes very hot and that it must not be touched.

When using the wrong fuel or one which is too damp, due to deposits present in the ue, a ue re is possible.

FIRSTAID MEASURES

Should any re arise in the stack or in the ue:

a) Close the feeding door.

b) Close the registers of combustion air

c) Extinguish the re using carbon dioxide re-ghting means (CO

2

dust).

22

ENGLISH

d) Seek immediate intervention of FIRE BRIGADE.

DO NOT EXTINGUISH FIRE USING WATER JETS. When the ue does not burn any more please arrange an examination by a specialist in order

to nd possible cracks and permeable points.

BEAM PROTECTIONS

Considering the irradiation of the hearth, it is necessary to be particularly careful in protecting the beams while designing your stack. Consider

the proximity of beams to the external surfaces of the hearth, on one side, and the irradiation of the glass door, usually very close to the beams,

on the other side. In any case, it has to be considered that the internal or lower surfaces of this beam in ammable material must not come in

contact with temperatures higher than 65 °C. Picture 2 gives some examples of execution.

WARNING: We cannot be made liable for a wrong operation of the plant, when it does not comply with the provisions of

these instructions or when it uses additional products not suitable for this device.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Denition: product according to EN 13229 The appliance works as an intermittent operating appliance.

The devices La Nordica are suitable to heat living spaces for some periods. As fuel, wood logs are used. .

The appliance is made up of a series of cast-iron elements joined to one another by a xed joint, while the seal is assured by refractory putty.

The assembly is supported by tie rods and nuts located outside the heating body.

The devices are equipped with an integrated air circuit for the recovery of the heat made up of deectors (radiant ns) on all external surfaces

of the heating body.

The devices are equipped with a hearth with double thickness rear part made up of a drilled extractible plate.

Through these holes, pre-heated air gets into the hearth; in this way, it is possible to achieve a post-combustion with an increase of the yield

and a reduction of emissions of unburnt gases.

The replace is equipped with a sight door with ceramic glass (resistant up to 700°C). This allows a charming sight on burning ames. Moreover,

in this way, any possible leak of sparks and smoke is avoided.

ACCESSORIES

POKER GLOVE

SERIES SERIES

Room heating takes place:

a) By irradiation: through the panoramic glass and the external hot surfaces of the stove, the heat is radiated into the environment;

b) By natural convection: the passage of air through the coating and the covering hood releases heat in the room.

The device is equipped with registers of primary and secondary air.

1A- PRIMARY air register (Picture 8)

With the primary air control is adjusted the passage of air through the ash drawer and the grate in the fuel direction. The primary air is

necessary for the combustion process. The ash drawer must be regularly emptied, so that the ash does not obstruct the primary air entry.

Through the primary air the re is also kept alive.

During wood combustion, the register of primary air must be opened only for a while, because otherwise the wood burns fast and the stove

may overheat. For the correct arrangement (see chapter NORMAL OPERATION).

2A - SECONDARY air register (Picture 8)

Over the door of the hearth there is the secondary air control.This regulator must be open (the lever must be moved to the right), especially

for wood combustion, so that un-burnt carbon does not undergo a post-combustion. See chapter NORMAL OPERATION. Through this

register it is possible to adjust the power of the device.

Leaving it slightly open, according to the ue of the device, it is possible to keep the glass clean.

The adjustment of the registers necessary to reach the rated caloric yield is the following one:

FLUE

Essential requirements for a correct operation of the device:

• the internal section must be preferably circular;

• be thermally insulated and water-proof and produced with materials suitable to resist to heat, combustion products and

possible condensates;

• not be throttled and show a vertical arrangement with deviations not greater than 45°;

• if already used, it must be clean;

• all the sections of the ue gas duct must be accessible to inspection;

• inspection openings must be provided for cleaning.

• observe the technical data of the instructions manual;

Should the ues have a square or rectangular section, internal edges must be rounded with a radius not lower than 20 mm. For the rectangular

section, the maximum ratio between the sides must be = 1.5.

A too small section causes a decrease of the draught. It is suggested a minimum height of 4 m.

The following features are FORBIDDEN and therefore they endanger the good operation of the device: asbestos cement, galvanized steel,

rough and porous internal surfaces. In Picture 3 gives some examples of execution.



For a correct installation please respect the sections/lengths of the ue shown in the technical data table. By installations

with dierent dimensions the ue must be suitably sized in accordance with EN13384-1.

The draught created by the ue must be sucient, but not excessive.

A too big ue section can feature a too big volume to be heated and consequently cause diculties in the operation of the device; to avoid

this, tube the ue along its whole height. A too small section causes a decrease of the draught.

ATTENTION: as far as concern the realisation of the ue connection and ammable materials please follow the requirements

provided by UNI 10683 standard. The ue must be properly spaced from any ammable materials or fuels through a proper

insulation or an air cavity.

It is FORBIDDEN to let plant piping or air feeding channels pass in the same ue. Moreover, it is forbidden to create movable or

xed openings on the same for the connection of further other devices (Picture 4).

CHIMNEY CAP

The draught of the ue depends also on the suitability of the chimney cap.

Therefore, if it is handicraft constructed, the output section must be more than twice as big as the internal section of the ue (Picture 5).

Should it be necessary to exceed the ridge of the roof, the chimney cap must assure the discharge also in case of windy weather (Picture 6).

The chimney cap must meet the following requirements:

• have internal section equivalent to that of the stack.

• have a useful output section twice as big as the ue internal one.

• be manufactured in such a way as to prevent the penetration of rain, snow, and any other foreign body in the ue.

• be easily checkable, for any possible maintenance and cleaning operation

CONNECTION TO THE FLUE

The connection to the stack must be performed with sti pipes in steel comply with all current Standards and Regulations and to those

envisioned by the law.

It is FORBIDDEN to use metallic pipes or pipes in asbestos cement since they jeopardize the safety of the tting itself,

considering that they are subject to tears or breaks resulting in leaks of smoke.

The exhaust pipe must be air-tight fastened to the stack and can have a maximum inclination of 45°; this to avoid excessive deposits of

condensate produced in the initial start-up phases and/or the excessive gripping of soot and moreover it avoids the slowing down of the

smokes at output.

The failed tightness of the connection can cause the malfunction of the device.

The internal diameter of the connection pipe must be equal to the external diameter of the smokes stub pipe of the device. This is assured

by the pipes complying with DIN 1298.

The chimney pressure (DRAUGHT) must be at least (see chap. TECHNICAL DATA SHEET) Pascal. The measurement has always to be carried

out with hot device (rated thermal performance).

When the depression exceeds 17 Pa (=1.7 mm of column of water), it is necessary to reduce the same by installing an additional draught

regulator (buttery valve) on the exhaust pipe or in the chimney, according to the regulations in force.



IMPORTANT: When using metallic pipes, they must be insulated with proper materials (coatings in insulating bers resistant

up to 600°C) in order to avoid deterioration of walls or of the counter-hood.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION

It is necessary to ventilate continuously the space included between the upper part, the sides of the device and the deector of the re-

proong material of the hood.

For this reason, it is necessary to foresee an intake of air from the bottom (intake of fresh air) and a high output (output of hot air). The

24

ENGLISH

VENTILATION AND AERATION OF THE INSTALLATION PREMISES

As the product draw their combustion air from the place of installation, it is MANDATORY that in the place itself, a sucient quantity of air is

introduced. If windows and doors are airtight (e.g. built according to energy saving criteria), it is possible that the fresh air intake is no longer

guaranteed and this jeopardises the draught of the appliance and your health and safety.

IMPORTANT: For a better comfort and corresponding oxygenation of environment, the combustion air can be directly withdrawn at the

outside through a junction which is to be connected with a exible pipe. The connection pipe (not furnished) must be at with a minimum

diameter of Picture 11, a maximum length of 4 m and with no more than 3 bends. If there is a direct connection with the outside it must be

endowed with a special windbreak.

There MANDATORY be sucient quantity of air for combustion and re-oxygenation of the room to ensure the device will work properly.

There should therefore be vents letting air in from outside the building and enabling circulation of air for combustion even when the doors

and windows are closed.

The air inlets must meet the following requirements:

• they must be protected with grids, metal mesh, etc., but without reducing the net useful section;

• they must be made so as to make the maintenance operations possible;

• positioned so that they cannot be obstructed;

• Any extractor hoods in the room where the device is installed must not operate at the same time as this could cause smoke to enter the

room, even with the replace’s door closed.

The clean and non-contaminated air ow can also be obtained from a room adjacent to that of installation (indirect aeration and ventilation),

as long as the ow takes place freely through permanent openings communicating with the outside.

The adjacent room cannot be used as a garage, or to store combustible material or for any other activity with a re hazard, bathroom, bedroom

or common room of the building.

Ventilation is deemed sucient when the room is equipped with air inlets according to the table:

Appliance categories Reference standard

Percentage of the

net opening section with respect to

the appliance fumes outlet section

Minimum net opening value of

the ventilation duct

Fireplaces UNI EN 13229 50% 200 cm²

Stoves UNI EN 13240 50% 100 cm²

Cookers UNI EN 12815 50% 100 cm²

Installation in premises with re hazards is forbidden. Installation in residential premises in which, in any case, the depression

measured during installation between the internal and external environment is greater than 4 Pa - reference for Italy according to

standard UNI10683.

All national, regional, provincial and municipal laws and standards in force in the country where the appliance is installed must be complied

with.

VENTILATION HOOD OR ADJACENT LOCAL

In order to distribute the heating in the environment or carry it to an adjacent room it is possible to install a galvanized steel covering

(OPTIONAL) on the external cast-iron body of the same appliance.

The covering is provided with 4 outlets with a 150 mm diameter to connect the heat resistant pipes. This covering is xed to the replace

through special screws:

a) Perform the drilling on the walls or on the existing hood to allow the passage and the application of the (re-resistant) hoses with a 15

cm diameter equipped with related openings.

b) Fasten the pipes by means of clamps to the related collars and openings, (see Picture 10).

c) Each pipe must not exceed 2m of length for natural ventilation and 4m for forced ventilation; it must be insulated with insulating

materials to avoid noise and dispersion of heat.

spaces foreseen for the circulation of air indicated in Picture 7 - Picture 11 represent the minimum requirements:

Top: Minimum opening 1000 cm

2

Base: Minimum opening 750 cm

2

In this way, the following targets are achieved:

• a greater safety

• an increase of the heat created by air circulation around the device

• a better working of the appliance

The heat vent grating (Picture 7 pos. 6) has to be installed on the upper part of the hood at about 20 cm from the roof. This must

always be installed since its function is that of letting the heat collected within the hood (overpressure) ow out into the room.

25

ENGLISH

ALLOWED / NOT ALLOWED FUELS

Allowed fuels are logs. Use exclusively dry logs (max. content of water 20%). Maximum 3 logs should be loaded. The pieces of wood should

have a length of ca. 20-30 cm and a maximum circumference of 30-35 cm.

Compressed not worked-out wood briquettes must be used carefully to avoid overheating that may damage the device, since these

have a very high caloric value.

The wood used as fuel must have a humidity content lower than the 20% and must be stored in a dry place. Humid wood tends to burn less

easily, since it is necessary a greater quantity of energy to let the existing water evaporate. Moreover, humid content involves the disadvantage

that, when temperature decreases, the water condensates earlier in the hearth and therefore in the stack causing a remarkable deposit of soot

with following possible risk of re of the same.

Fresh wood contains about 60% of H

2

O, therefore it is not suitable to be burnt.

It is necessary to place this wood in a dry and ventilated place (for example under a roong) for at least two years before using it.

Besides others, it is not possible to burn: carbon, cuttings, waste of bark and panels, humid wood or wood treated with paints, plastic

materials; in this case, the warranty on the device becomes void.

Paper and cardboard must be used only to light the re.

The combustion of waste is FORBIDDEN and would even damage the appliance and the ue, causing health damages and claims by the

neighborhood owing to the bad smell.

The wood is not a fuel which allows a continuous operation of the appliance, as consequence the heating all over the night is not possible.

ATTENTION : the continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle etc.) quickly damages the cast iron

parts (cleavage) of the product.

The declared technical data have been achieved by burning beech wood class “A1” according to the requirement UNI EN ISO 17225-5 and

wood moisture content less than 20%. By burning a dierent kind of wood the eciency of the product itself could change and some specic

adjustments on the appliance could be needed.

CONNECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF VENTILATION OPTIONAL

The control unit and the plant must be installed and connected by authorized personnel according to the standards in

force. (see chapter GENERAL REMARKS).

ATTENTION: the control unit and the feeding cable must not be in contact with hot parts.

On our products, it is possible to install Optional ventilation kits suitable to improve the distribution of heat by ventilation only either of the

installation room or of the adjacent local (see chapter EXTERNAL AIR INTAKE).

For the connection of the ventilation kit, please see the instructions manual CONNECTION OF OPTIONAL VENTILATION KIT.

d) The openings have to be positioned at a height not lower than 2 m from the oor to avoid that hot air at output meets people. Please

respect the distance of the convection openings according to the local construction norms;

e) The lengths of the canalization pipes must have the same length to avoid the distribution of diering quantities of air from each

output. (see Picture 10).

f) The OPTIONAL ventilation kit has to be installed below the appliance in the rear part (see separate instructions OPTIONAL kit

ventilation). As consequence you should arrange a underlying space to collocate it, allowing a proper air ow and the accessibility

for future maintenance.

ENGLISH

LIGHTING

After the rst ignition you can smell bad odours (owing to the drying of the glue used in the garnitures or of the paint) which disappear after

a brief using of the appliance. A good ventilation of the room should always be guaranteed.

To light the re, it is suggested to use small wood pieces together with paper or other traded lighting means.

It is FORBIDDEN to use any liquid substance as for ex. alcohol, gasoline, oil and similar.

Open the primary air completely.

When wood starts to burn, it is possible to feed it again by opening slowly the door, in order to avoid leaks of smoke, and close the primary

air register and control the combustion through the secondary air register according to the provisions of chapter TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION.

Please always be present during this phase.

Never overload the appliance (see cap.TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION - Hourly consumption).

Too much fuel and too much air for combustion can cause overheating and therefore damage the same.

Never switch on the device when there are combustible gases in the room.

To perform a correct rst lighting of the products treated with paints for high temperature, it is necessary to know the following information:

• the construction materials of the involved products are not homogeneous, in fact there are simultaneously parts in cast iron, steel,

refractory material and majolica;

• the temperature to which the body of the product is subject is not homogeneous: from area to area, variable temperatures within the

range of 300°C - 500°C are detected;

• during its life, the product is subject to alternated lighting and extinguishing cycles in the same day, as well as to cycles of intense use

or of absolute standstill when season changes;

• the new appliance, before being considered seasoned has to be subject to many start cycles to allow all materials and paints to

complete the various elastic stresses;

• in detail, initially it is possible to remark the emission of smells typical of metals subject to great thermal stress, as well as of wet paint.

This paint, although during the manufacture it is backed at 250 °C for some hours, must exceed many times and for a given period of

time the temperature of 350 °C before becoming completely embedded in the metallic surfaces.

Therefore, it is extremely relevant to take these easy steps during the lighting:

1. Make sure that a strong air change is assured in the room where the appliance is installed.

2. During the rst starts, do not load excessively the combustion chamber (about half the quantity indicated in the instructions manual)

and keep the product continuously ON for at least 6-10 hours with the registers less open than the value indicated in the instructions

manual.

3. Repeat this operation for at least 4-5 or more times, according to your possibilities.

4. Then load more and more fuel (following in any case the provisions contained in the installation booklet concerning maximum load)

and, if possible, keep the lighting periods long avoiding, at least in this initial phase, short ON/OFF cycles.

5. During the rst starts, no object should be leaned on the appliance and in detail on enamelled surfaces. Enamelled surfaces must not

be touched during heating.

6. Once the «break-in» has been completed, it is possible to use the product as the motor of a car, avoiding abrupt heating with excessive

loads.



After testing the proper working of the appliance, some days from the installation, it is possible to proceed with the

construction of its aesthetic covering.

WARNING: During the surround building operations it must kept in mind possible and subsequent electrical installed parts

maintenance (Fans, temperature probe, etc) and with hydraulic systems all parts connected to the thermo-replace.

LOW EMISSION FIRE LIGHTING

Smokeless combustion is a way of lighting a re able to signicantly reduce the emission of harmful substances. The wood burns gradually

from the top downwards, so combustion is slower and more controlled. Burnt gases pass through the high temperatures of the ame and

therefore burn almost completely.

Place the logs in the hearth a certain distance apart as shown in the Picture 9. Arrange the largest at the bottom and the smallest at the top,

or vertically in the case of tall narrow combustion chambers. Place the re starter module on top of the pile, arranging the rst logs in the

module at right angles to the pile of wood.

Fire STARTER MODULE

This re starter module replaces a paper or cardboard starter.

Prepare four logs, 20 cm long with a cross section of 3 cm by 3 cm Picture 9. Cross the four logs and place them on top of the pile of wood at

right angles, with the re lighter (wax impregnated wood bre for example) in the middle. The re can be lit with a match.

If you want, you can use thinner pieces of wood. In this case, you will need a larger quantity.

Keep the ue gas exhaust valve and combustion air regulator open (1A - 2A). After lighting the re, leave the combustion air regulator open

in the position shown in the Picture.

IMPORTANT:

• do not add further wood between one complete load and the next;

• do not suocate the re by closing the air intakes;

• regular cleaning by a chimney sweep reduces ne particle emissions.

NORMAL OPERATION

After having positioned the registers correctly, insert the indicated hourly wood load avoiding overloads that cause anomalous stresses and

deformations. You should always use the product with the door closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating (forge eect).

The inobservance of this rule makes the warranty expire.

With the registers located on the front of the device, it is possible to adjust the heat emission of the same. They have to be opened according to

the caloric need. The best combustion (with minimum emissions) is reached when, by loading the wood, most part of the air for combustion

ows through the secondary air register.

Never overload the appliance. Too much fuel and too much air for the combustion may cause overheating and then damage

the product.

You should always use the appliance with the door closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating (forge eect).

The adjustment of the registers necessary to reach the rated caloric yield with a depression at the stack of Pascal (see chap. TECHNICAL DATA

SHEET) is the following one: see chap. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION. The appliance works as an intermittent operating appliance.

Besides the adjustment of the air for the combustion, the intensity of the combustion and consequently the thermal performance of the

device is inuenced by the stack. A good draught of the stack requires a stricter adjustment of air for combustion, while a poor draught

requires a more precise adjustment of air for combustion.

To verify the good combustion, check whether the smoke coming out from the stack is transparent.

If it is white, it means that the device is not properly adjusted or the wood is too wet; if instead the smoke is gray or black, it signals that the

combustion is not complete (it is necessary a greater quantity of secondary air).

WARNING: When fuel is added onto the embers in the absence of a ame, a considerable amount of fumes may develop. Should

this happen, an explosive mixture of gas and air may form, and in extreme cases an explosion may occur. For safety reasons it is

advisable to perform a new lighting procedure with the use of small strips.

OPERATION DURING TRANSITION PERIODS

During transition periods when the external temperatures are higher, if there is a sudden increase of temperature it can happen that the

combustion gases inside the ue cannot be completely sucked up.

The exhaust gases do not come out completely (intense smell of gas). In this case, shake the grating more frequently and increase the air for

the combustion. Then, load a reduced quantity of fuel in order to permit a rapid burning (growing up of the ames) and the stabilization of

the draught.



Then, check that all openings for the cleaning and the connections to the stack are air-tight. In case of doubt, do not operate the

product.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN COMPLETE SAFETY!

• Make sure that the power cord is unplugged (if present).

• That the generator is cold all over.

• The ashes are completely cold.

• Ensure ecient air exchange in the room during the product cleaning operations.

• Poor cleaning will compromise correct operation and safety!

PERIODIC CLEANING UNDER USER’S RESPONSIBILITY

The periodic cleaning operations, as indicated in this use and maintenance manual, must be performed with the utmost care after reading the

instructions, procedures and frequency described in this use and maintenance manual.

Check the external air intake, by cleaning it, at least once a year. The stack must be regularly swept by the chimney sweeper.

Let your chimney sweeper in charge of your area check the regular installation of the device, the connection to the stack and the aeration.

IMPORTANT: THE MAINTENANCE AND CARE MUST BE CARRIED OUT ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY WITH COLD DEVICE .You

should only use spare parts approved and supplied by La NORDICA S.p.A. . Please contact your specialized retailer if you require

spare parts.

YOU MUST NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE DEVICE!!!

GLASS CLEANING

Thanks to a specic inlet of secondary air, the accumulation of dirty sediments on the glass-door is reduced with ecacy. Nevertheless this can

never be avoided by using solid fuels ( particularly wet wood ) and it has not to be understood as a defect of the appliance.

IMPORTANT: The cleaning of the sight glass must be carried out only and exclusively with cold device to avoid the explosion

of the same. For the cleaning, it is possible to use specic products or a wet newspaper paper ball passed in the ash to rub it.

Do not use cloths, abrasive or chemically aggressive products by cleaning the hearth glass.

The correct lighting phase, the use of proper quantities and types of fuels, the correct position of the secondary air regulator, enough draught

of the chimney-ue and the presence of combustion air are the essential elements for the optimal functioning of the appliance and for the

cleaning of the glass.

BREAK OF GLASSES: Given that the glass-ceramic glasses resist up to a heat shock of 750°C, they are not subject to thermal

shocks. Their break can be caused only by mechanic shocks (bumps or violent closure of the door, etc.). Therefore, their

replacement is not included in the warranty.

CLEANING OUT THE ASHES

All the devices are equipped with a hearth grating and an ash drawer for the collection of the ashes.

It is suggested to empty periodically the ash drawer and to avoid it lls completely in order not to overheat the grating. Moreover, it is

suggested to leave always 3-4 cm of ash in the hearth.

CAUTION: The ashes removed from the hearth have to be stored in a container made of re-resistant material equipped

with an air-tight cover. The container has to be placed on a re-resistant oor, far from ammable materials up to the

switching o and complete cooling.

CLEANING THE FLUE

The correct lighting phase, the use of proper quantities and types of fuels, the correct position of the secondary air regulator, enough draught

of the chimney-ue and the presence of combustion air are the essential elements for the optimal functioning of the appliance.

The device should be completely cleaned at least once a year or every time it is a needed (in case of bad working and low yield). An excessive

deposit of soot can cause problems in the discharge of smokes and re in the ue.

The cleaning must be carried out exclusively with cold equipment. This operation should be carried out by a chimney sweeper

who can simultaneously perform an audit of the ue (checking of possible deposits).

During the cleaning, it is necessary to remove the ash drawer, the grating, and the smoke deectors from the device in order to ease the fall of

the soot. The deectors can be easily extracted from their seats since they are not fastened using screws. Once the clearing has been carried

out, place them back in their seats (Picture 12).

CAUTION: The lack of the deectors causes a strong depression, with a too fast combustion, an excessive consumption of

wood with related overheating of the device.

SUMMER STOP

After cleaning the hearth, chimney and hood, totally eliminating the ash and other eventual residues, close all the doors of the hearth and

the relevant registers; in case you disconnect the appliance from the chimney you must close its openings in order to let work others possible

appliances connected to the same ue.

We suggest performing the cleaning operation of the ue at least once per year; verifying in the meantime the actual status of the rope seals,

which cannot ensure the good operation of the equipment if they are not in good condition and are not making a good seal! In this case the

CALCULATION OF THE THERMAL POWER

There is not an absolute rule for calculating the correct necessary power. This power is given according to the space to be heated, but it

depends also largely on the insulation. On an average, the caloric value necessary for a properly insulated room is 30 kcal/h per m

3

(for an

external temperature of 0°C).

Given that 1 kW corresponds to 860 kcal/h, it is possible to adopt a value of 35 W/m

3

.

Let’s suppose one wishes to heat a room of 150 m

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS

Routine maintenance must be performed at least once a year.

Using wood as solid fuel, the generator requires annual routine maintenance, which must be performed by a qualied technician, using

only original spare parts.

Failure to comply can jeopardise the safety of the appliance and make the warranty null and void.

Respecting the frequencies of cleaning reserved for the user described in the use and maintenance manual, the generator is guaranteed

correct combustion over time, preventing any anomalies and/or malfunctioning that could require more interventions of the technician.

Requests for routine maintenance are not contemplated in the product warranty.

GASKETS

The gaskets guarantee the tightness of the stove and its consequent good functioning.

They must be controlled periodically. They must be replaced immediately if they are worn or damaged.

These operations must be carried out by a qualied technician.

CONNECTION TO THE FLUE

Vacuum and clean the pipe that leads to the ue yearly or any time that it is necessary. If there are horizontal tracts, the residue must be

removed before it can prevent the passage of the fumes.

seals must be replaced.

In presence of dampness in the room where the stove has been placed, we advise you to put absorbent salts into the hearth.



If you want to keep for long the aesthetic look of the cooker it is important to protect its internal walls in row cast iron with neutral

Vaseline.
